fashion

1. The model's face was moved upward, the neck lengthened. The eyes were made bigger, the mouth and nose smaller, and the eyes moved down.

2. Using the computer, the model's body was thinned out along the arms and torso, the legs and arms and neck were all lengthened. Her skin tone was also altered and made lighter and more concentrated.

3. The changes made to the model on the computer include a significant scrunching up and thinning out of her entire body. Her legs were shaped, her rear end was made round and shapely. Her arms were thinned, and she was given hair.

4. I think it is ethically wrong to change the way something looks using photoshop (or reasonable facsimiles there of). This is because what is being advertised shouldn't be altered to persuade a customer's purchase further. I strongly disagree with severe alteration of things, especially people, in advertising and anything else for that matter.

5. I think that there are times when it would be more wrong to do it than others, like a weight loss program using photoshop on their ads would be completely unacceptable.

6. I think any changes to how something would make something else look is wrong. Like makeup making eyes more intense, photoshop would be wrong to use on that. I think that changing something small like the background or small details in something not affected by advertised product would be fine.

7. Fashion photography utilizes models and is capturing something that is conforming to the opposite. Photojournalism is the opposite. Photojournalism captures real people doing things in the moment. It captures memory and conforms to what it's looking at.

8. Photojournalism is very closely related to reality in that it captures what is really going on without any adjustments. Because of this, the ethics involved are simple, don't change the picture. And fashion photography is not very closely related to reality (if changed to advertise product) in that it modifies photos to make the subject more desirable. It's tricky because some modification is necessary, but a lot of what happens is unethical.

9. I think the reason that I am being shown these photos is because its a practice and a trial of photographical morals. It shows me what is going on behind magazine covers, and influencing me to do the right thing.

10. The standards of a woman's image is very different from a man. The way the different genders are perceived varies quite a bit. A woman has to be the perfect shape to be on a magazine cover. I guess so does a man, but there is a lot more to change about a women. The face, the bust, the stomach, waist, legs. While a man might only be given larger muscles or more hair. Therefore, the videos we saw were all about major changes made to women using photoshop.
